After all the nute's were added usually had a ppm of around 1400 to 1500 and a ph of 6.0 after using Mad Farmer get down.

My plants looked great when I transplanted. About a week later some of the leaves started to yellow. I trimmed most of them off. They are still yellowing. The fan leaves start to yellow at the tips and work the yellow towards the stem. I would say one in 4 or 5 fan leaves are like that, maybe one in 6.

They eventually dry out and turn a brownish color, some turn up, some turn down. The rest of the fan leaves look perky, but a little pale. These are Chocolope, whatever the f23k that is.

I did my reading regarding the movement of the smart pots too late. I have handled the plants as though they were in plastic containers, and I have read that is a no-no. I ran the search under "coco", yellow leaves, and several of the stickies. I am still kinda lost.

I tried to take one plant out of its' smart pot and the coco started to come apart, I was afraid to loose the whole thing. Wanted to check the roots, but I didn't.

I am thinking that everything was okay until the transplant and the addition of the root stimulant. But what I know really isn't a whole lot, just a guess. Maybe one of you men or women can lead me down the path.

Thanks, I M Stone
